Sound output device for vehicle

Abstract

A sound output device for a vehicle includes an exterior component forming a part of an outer shell of the vehicle, a vibration generator disposed inward of the exterior component in an outward-inward direction of the vehicle, and an interposed portion disposed between the exterior component and the vibration generator and having an attachment portion to which the vibration generator is attached. The sound output device for the vehicle is configured to transmit vibration of the vibration generator to the exterior component via the interposed portion to cause sound waves to be emitted from the exterior component. The interposed portion includes a plate-shaped joining portion between the exterior component and the attachment portion, the joining portion protruding inward in the outward-inward direction from the exterior component. The exterior component and the interposed portion are integrally formed of a plastic.
